"Mempertimbangkan ketidakpedulian umat manusia terhadap kebebasan, mudah ditipu mereka, dan respons mereka yang mudah terhadap pengkondisian, orang mungkin sangat berargumen bahwa kolektivisme adalah mode politik yang paling cocok dengan disposisi dan kapasitas mereka. Di bawah rezimnya, warga negara, seperti prajurit, terbebas dari beban inisiatif dan melepaskan semua tanggung jawab, kecuali melakukan apa yang diperintahkan."

--- Albert J. Nock

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Considering mankind's indifference to freedom, their easy gullibility and their facile response to conditioning, one might very plausibly argue that collectivism is the political mode best suited to their disposition and their capacities. Under its regime, the citizen, like the soldier, is relieved of the burden of initiative and is divested of all responsibility, save for doing as he is told.
